LANDSCAPING: The crews have completed the over seeding on Meridiana Parkway. In addition, they have completed the weed control application in the flower bed and tree wells. There has been a reduction in plant growth due to the cooler temperatures, however this has allowed the crews to focus on detail trimming. GATES: Please let us know if you are experiencing any key fob, EZ tag, pedestrian gate code or vehicle gate code issues. You can visit Courtney Fisher at the Welcome Center from 7am to 4pm Monday-Thursday with any concerns. LAKES & FOUNTAINS: Please continue to report any lake/fountain issues to us that you may see in the community. Remember to always use caution around the lakes. November treatment of algae in the lakes did prove to be successful. Floating Bridge Park fountains have been installed as well. As a friendly reminder, all assessments are due January 1st. and late after January 31st. Also, you can pay your HOA Assessments by clicking on “Make a Payment” in Townsquare. Please do not disregard this obligation. If you need assistance with requesting a payment plan please reach out to management. We are always here to assist you. During the season, we take time to reflect upon the good things we have…like our partnership with you. We appreciate working with you and hope that the holidays and the upcoming year will bring you happiness and success. The team at Meridiana wishes you peace, joy and prosperity throughout the coming year. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to working with you in the years to come.

MOVIE NIGHT & F O O D T R U C K F R I D AY On November 5th we brought back movie nights on the lawn! Residents were so excited to come out and enjoy the Disney Pixar movie, Luca and delicious burgers and fried pickles by JAX Burgers. Luckily, we had a cold front come through so residents dressed for sweater weather and brought out their warmest blankets. We have scheduled our second movie night in December after the tree lighting and we are hoping the weather stays cool so we can have hot chocolate and other comfort food. We can’t wait for our next movie night; we hope to see you there!
MEET YOUR LIFESTYLE COORDINATOR Meet Meridiana’s new lifestyle Coordinator, Tresa Dale! We are excited to have a full-time, on-site Lifestyle Coordinator at Meridiana. Tresa has been coordinating events for over 14 years, so catering to the social and emotional life of residents is nothing new to her. Tresa lives a very active lifestyle, on her days off she enjoys bike riding, tennis, badminton, dancing to all kinds of music and spending time on the beach. Fun fact, the beach is one of the reasons she recently moved from Taylor, Tx. Tresa hopes to enrich the residents' lives through community involvement and bring many new events, some of which include day time events for stay at home parents, casino/game nights, and a twist to our yearly events. Get to know more about your lifestyle coordinator at the Lifestyle Meet & Greet on December 4th at 5:00pm in the Welcome Center.

MERIDIANA HOSTS RETURN OF N I G H T LY S Y N C H R O N I Z E D D R I V ET H R U H O L I D AY L I G H T S E X P E R I E N C E Meridiana, the award-winning community of new homes minutes south of Pearland, is celebrating the holiday season with the return of its drive-thru experience featuring thousands of twinkle lights along Meridiana Parkway performing nightly to the sounds of the season. Meridiana Musical Lights is open daily beginning at dusk, starting November 26 through New Years, with free admission. Upon arrival, families can set their car radios to 87.9 FM and enjoy the two-mile round-trip on the parkway watching the holiday lights dance to festive tunes. During their drive-thru, families can stop in Meridiana’s Welcome Center for complementary hot cocoa Tuesday – Thursday until 8 p.m. and its onsite Café Sol Friday and Saturday until 11 p.m. for complimentary coffee, hot cocoa and delicious holiday treats. Both are located in the community’s Oasis Village, 4003 Meridiana Parkway, at the midway point of the drive-thru holiday lights experience. To reach Meridiana Musical Lights, take the Meridiana Parkway exit from Texas 288 in either direction. Heading south on Texas 288, take the Meridiana Parkway exit 3.5 miles south of Highway 6 and turn left onto the overpass. Those heading north on Texas 288 can take the Meridiana Parkway exit and turn right into the community.
